WHAT SHALL WE DO WITH OUR
GRAPES?"
III. II. II.

AT this fruit season this question must
urge itself more and more upon the con-
scieuoe OF Temperance women, As minis
tiers at household altars we are bound TO
conserve the interests of our families, both
by ruling out harmful thingsand by avail
ing ourselves of every good thing that will
contribute to a heaIthful and enjoyable
existence.
The plan proposed in the short di'courso
upon this subject, in the issne of Febru-
AIRY g. met with kindly criticism from a
sister, Mrs. James II. Bissex of Philadel-
phia, Pa, in the issue for March 8, page 8.
We wish briefly TO reply TO thls. The ar
iicle slrikingly combines truth for, aud
prejudice ag~inst, the proposed plan TO has
pure grape juice as table drink. Ac-
cording to the statement made by hi,
sister, the fact is proven that exprelsei
juice OF the grape may be so prepared ana
preserved as to retain all its excellence fol
an indefinite period of time, with none o
the Impurities arising from fermentation
The objection set forth in this article, whicl
too, had been encountered before the plal
was laId before the readers of The UNIoi
SIGNAL, very naturally arises from II,
nature of the case but il is, as we believ
every Just thinker win see when the mat

In Memory or EvalIne Hayes.

We've laid her down with weeping,
In the quiet grave to rest,
With her pale hands meekly folded
Upon the pulseless breast;
With broken hearts we bore her
Where we, too, faiu would go,
And we left her there to slumber
Beneath the drifting snow.
She was with us, fair and lovely,
When the sweet May flowers bloomed,
When with the opening blossoms
Hill and valley were perfumed;
But with the summer roses
The spoiler, too, came nigh;
She heard the fearful summons,
And turned away TO die.
And, with fnith and trust unbroken,
She meekly heard the call
With prayer yet lingering on her lips,
The spirit burst its :hrall.
There was Joy among the angels
Before the Great White Throne;
That her weary toll was over,
Her crown of life was won.
We thank thee, blessed father,
That she Is free from sin and care,
And heaven seems nearer TO us now,
For We think that She is there.
We know that she is happy,
With her shining harp and crown,
But our hearts are very sorrowful,
When we think that she is gone.
Yet wc'll walk with humble footsteps,
And earnest lifted eyes,
For the path of sorrow leadcth
To our Fathers house on high;
TIN by those cool, still waters,
III the pastures green and fair,
In the snowy robes of heaven,
We shall sec our mother there.

NATURAL GAS,

From present appearances, Northwestern
Ohio will soon be the great center for
glass manufacturers Findlay will have
two or three, Bowling Green one or two,
North Baltimore one or two, and there is
no telling how many Toledo may have.
Toledo Comtiercfdt.
The well on the Roe farm IN Wehster
township was shu, on Saturday evening
last and developed sufficient gas TO run
forty or fifty stoves in the estimation of
some of our citizens who were present
and double that amount in the estimation
| of others.
The gas we'll nj Hsskihs, owned by
Cincinnati and Toledo capitalists, came
in on Wednesday of last week, or partial
ly came in. AT depth Of 81 feet in the
Trenton both gas and oil was struck IN
considerable quantities, when The tools
were removed and the well plugged, aud
all is a mystery since, except the same
parties are engaged in leasing all the ter
rltory they can get in that vicinity.
The Perrysburg Natural Gas Co. held
a meeting on Monday night and detd.
ed to proceed at once 10 sink other
wells from three to four miles west Of
town, where they feel morally certain
that there is as good field as that at
Findlay. They fully expect to be able
to supply our town with this fuel be-
fore fuel will be required for heating
purposes.
Perrysburg and Maunee can soon hold
out the best inducements of anyE,two
towns in the United States for all the re-
naming glass manufactures in the coun--
try. Water, river scenery, health, trans
portation facilities by rail or water, with
beautiful resldence sites and excellent
ground for gardening purposes, and ex-
cellent 81 lass sand almost in sight.
With Lima oil at Is cents n barrel, the
Ohio OF! boom is not shaking down houses
Al the last meeting of the producers, al
Findlay, the Standard was charged with
causing the low price and was rallied at
accordingly. But the Standard cafes as
little for such things as the bleak hea VEINS
Lear. Nothing short of an assault aimed
at the revocation of lis charter will ever
attract the notice of that corporation. It
has done enough things, il they were
looked up, to make the supreme court of
the state squint irguiringly at its pratt
cal commission. To attempt to worry it
in any other way is as idle ms to attempt
TO tickle man through the sole of a
stoga boot Cleveland Press.

WARNING TO THE BOYS.


here ia fact that is worth pasting in
the hat OF every boy in the land: Out OF
twenty young men who competed for a
West Point cadetship at Weslfield, Mass,
ten were rejected by the physician because
they had "the tobacco heart" brought on
by cigarette smoking. They were unfit
Tor West Point service. Aud youth
with tobacco heart" is unfit for any uc-
cupation which requires persistent, steady
effort. To put il in other words, lie il
unfit for no real Use in this.busy world OF
ours, and the sooner he goes 10 his grave
the better il will he for him aud humani
ty in general.-Toiedo Blade.
Some boys get the mistaken notion that
it appears manly to appear in public with
cigar in their mouth, thus they become
an annoyance TO others in public places.
Among The other evils from the lighted
pipe or cigar some of the most destructive
fires can be traced to these causes. The

Fifteen Hundred Dollars n Dox

In Rising Sun Park, Philadelphia. Mon.
Jay, August 8, the Clan-ns- Gael held a
picnic. In order TO properly celebrate
the cause OF suffering ireland il was con =
sidered necessary to have big bar at
hand. So the privilege of keeping bar
WAS sold TO the highest bidder, and James
Galiigan il was who bought the same, and
$1,000 WAS the price he paid for the
blessed privilege OF dispensing Satan in
solution. Fifteen hundred dollars Tor
day, and all the expense OF erecting the
bar and cnrtlng out his equipments, and
providing nnnumerous walters, etc, in
addition. Fifteen hundred dollars ior a

on prejudice. This prejudice Ia justly
founded in the ono case, but 10 made to,

TO us among temporal lhihsn
IN undertaking to can grape juice for
table beverage, we shall encounter no more
serious factor in the proposition than we
meet IN the work OF thus preparing fruit
for our tables, aud we obtain nm article
most delicious and comforting tor both in
valid and robust worker. Since sending
the article to THE UNION SIGNAL, in Feb
ruary, we have had additional assurance
that grape juice, properly preserved, is a
wonderful comfort, both as food and appe-
tizer, to the very sick, 10 whom the mem
tion OF every form OF solid food was revol.
ling. There certainly seems 10 be enough
in this proposition TO challenge tespeelful
attention, and 10 demand that we shall
bravely, learlessly, and without prejudice
set ourselves, as women who are not afraid
OF the truth, 10 find ont all that is in the
case. A marked suggestion comes TO us
communion which we use without com
Function. II seems not too much TO be-
lieve that could people be assured that they
could obtain and use perfectly heslthful
produrt of the vine in the form of bever-
age, that the common instinct of self-pres-
ervation, together would tend to rule out
lie harmful and unnatural product, and
would work great change in the cen
sumption OF intoxicating wines, The BIZ
BILE unmis,akably sells forth two classes of
the products of the vine upon the one IL
pronounced curRe, and upon the other ia
pronounced blessing, and we believe most
sincerely, that whoever successfully pre-
pares the precious blood of the grape for
general use in its purity, will be numbered
with the great benefaclors of the race. Be.
tore leaving the subject we wish TO repeat
that many other fruit juices can be thus
prepared, piz /: expressed, scalded, sweet
ened and canned, and when reduced III
cold water, make either alone or with the
addition OF little lemon juice, most
comforting and thirst-sallsfying beverage
something far better than iced lea, or any
other drink that we have any experience
with. To the mind of this deponen, there
arises no reasonable objection to this meth
cd of utilizing fruits, and we believe We
are justified in experimenting along this
line. and in pressing courageously and
hopefully forward In our mission OF help
ing the world to reject error, and avail it
self OF the good that a bene6cent Creator
has provided for our comfort and safety.
